I also thought that you all might like to hear a little voice note that a certain Dave Harmon sent me yesterday.
This is what he said.
Hey Heng, it's Dave. I think you've got your first episode of Dragon Friends tomorrow and I just wanted to say
take a deep breath. I'm sure you've got this and you know if there is a god you will suffer the way you made me suffer, you motherfucker. You can pray but your gods won't save you.
The worm's fire will not spare you.
Doom and destruction, death and rebirth.
The moon can return but the heroes have yet.
Their jaws are all chiseled, their asses are fat.
They're shiny and golden and one wears a hat.
That's not a hat That is a boneless
You don't fall
Our heroes arrive

Our heroes arrive on the outskirts of Green Nest.
From the top of the hill.
Can I get a little information on the geography slash topography of the environment. There is a small town with say 30 little buildings
surrounded by about half a dozen. They are? Color? Color of building? They are mostly
wooden and thatched roofs. There is one stone keep. Where are they painted? No paint. DORB. DORB. DORB. DORB. There is one central stone keep.
Ooh.
In the middle.
Excuse me.
Crenelated or uncrenelated turrets.
What's a, no there's no turrets.
It's walls.
Like a ziggurat.
It's walls and then one building inside.
Oh, you're describing a cube?
Oh, four walls.
No, there's a pointy roof to the cube.
No, sorry, the pointy roof to the...
So there's walls.
But the most important thing...
Yes.
...is that you are too late.
It has already been decimated.
Oh, crap.
Columns of black smoke rising from the burning buildings. Figures fleeing from the town in the distance.
And on the far side of the town, opposite to where you are,
you see another hill, taller than the one you're on,
if you need to know the geography.
Yes.
Taller.
And atop that, you see the unmistakable, dark blue menacing
figure of Lennathon.
Borrowing into the hill, turning into crystal so that he can rest.
Night time is coming. What do you do?
Well I just want to take Umbridge for one second with the fact that we are too late
because I never signed up to like save the town. Maybe I'm too early to rebuild it so
Sure, is that dinner how much about was that you yeah, I'm talking to I huffed some gas
And I'm saying this to a knob in a tree
So why don't you think about that
But I'm just a tree yeah, I I know. I'm gonna cut you down and build a house.
No, please don't cut me down. I'd hate it. Please don't cut me down.
Sounding like a pervert.
Oh, don't saw me in half.
Alright guys.
Daddy.
I need it guys. I need to cut down and fuck this tree.
I will see you in four minutes. Dinner, can I just say, and this might be the second hand gas talking, but I think that
tree wants you to cut it down.
Shut the fuck up!
You don't know anything about me!
I love being a lion!
Please cut me down!
Alright, I'm not even gonna cut you down, I'm gonna push you down.
I'll make a roll for that.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
What?
You're gonna just push the tree over?
I'm gonna push it down.
Just with your arms?
Yeah.
Alright.
I'm gonna push and or pull it down.
There are peasants fleeing on fire from the town.
Peasants, you're not gonna wanna miss this.
Half a dozen flaming peasants gather round.
He says he's gonna push down this tree all right yeah I'm gonna push it
down all right yeah make a roll all right check DC 15 to push down a tree
are you bad you don't know how big or small this tree is true well this is
that's a two minus one. That's a one.
You run into the tree, it collapses on you.
You take six points of damage.
Okay. But I sort of-
Dinner munch about is now trapped under a tree.
But, but-
Night time approaches, the flaming peasants are all dead.
Hang on. And I go, say that's what I meant to do, and I kiss it.
And I'm like, fell down, down didn't it and then I feel right
Then I feel like I got the pleasing what I feel like I did the right thing They hit the trees down it fell down dinner, please
Do you need me to help you get out from any place? What do you how you gonna help me?
Probably just roll the tree off of you. Okay, can I go next? I'd love a go under the tree
Well, you know you lie right next to me
Right next to him.
I'm gonna try and help, because I'm lying.
Don't help, you've done enough.
Hey guys, while we're doing this,
do dragons usually turn into crystal to rest at night on a hillside?
Sorry, the dragon was turning the hill into crystal.
Oh, so the dragon's on to crystal?
The dragon was crystallizing the hill. Oh,, so the dragons on to crystal the dragon was crystallizing me
Oh like making like a cocoon of it. No
The dragon was turning the hill
As it was burrowing into it the rather than a snow-capped hill or a grassy knoll it was now crystalline
It was like digging up crystals
It was like a dragon. It was like a minor
crystalline it was like digging up crystals it was like a dragon it was like a minor like a 17 in the distance the dragon takes flight this is gonna be
a constant threat to you throughout this campaign wait but it's the dragon takes
flight and it's flying towards you what do you do I hide under the tree
everybody under this tree I get under the tree too
hey Hing what did it do to the hill?
It was turning it crystalline.
It was turning it into crystal.
So the hill's like, hey.
Was it worth it? Is that worth it?
And the hill introduces you to her friends.
And you're like, god you're all so shrill.
Why are you all this gay bar? You're not gay.
Crystal. Does anyone have any questions about the town before we proceed?
I wanna know what its primary trade item was.
Probably crystals now.
Yeah, now it'll be, well now it'll mostly be charcoal.
But previously it was a thriving town that made...
Rum. What's the name of the town?
Green Nest.
So there's sugar cane through the hills there?
No, they make it out of...
Coconuts.
It's a coconut rum, they make Malibu!
They make Malibu.
Excellent.
I worked 60's at a fucking bottle shop, test me alright?
I know every liqueur.
So we're in a sort of tropical environment, there's a lot of coconut palms.
No, there was an extensive hydroponic setup
and several, um,
it was called Green Nest,
because of the greenhouses that were there,
that also housed birds.
The birds lived in the coconuts.
Look, eat it, I can't, if you pick a part of this I will collapse and have a stroke.
I didn't pick it apart. You said, do I have a question? I had a question.
Do we have a contact for, given to us by Tarboar to meet here and then give instructions?
No, you don't have a contact but I would imagine maybe someone else in the party would be smart
enough to know that the leader would probably be in the key.
What's hard about this is that I chose to play a character that's really dumb. Unfortunately, I personally...
Very smart.
So there's this ongoing tension thing of
really wanting my character to be able to...
And I literally have the exact opposite problem.
my character to be able to... And I literally have the exact opposite problem. Okay well dinner munch about's like hey guys I reckon if we're thinking logically about
it in what I'm gonna call the Simon Grider way of thinking which I've coined I think
we need to head towards that keep. Crystals.
No, not crystals.
No, that was coming from like the dragon's asshole.
And on it.
Maybe if we charge the crystals in the moonlight,
they'll give us some sort of information.
Are you walking into the town
while you have this conversation?
Sure.
Are there orphans or not orphans?
Is there orphans?
Sugar bear!
Please!
If we can't have money, can we have orphans?
There's on fire people running around, right?
Yeah, yeah, many people are fleeing.
Right, I grab one and I put him out.
I put him out with my...
I throw him on the ground and I roll him with my foot.
And I say, are you okay?
Help us, please help us!
Whispers the woman.
And you see behind her seven kobolds stream out of an alley
and they are holding hostage with knives and spears to the throat
four other human beings an adult man and three children. That looks like a family
children. That looks like a family. Please help us! whispers the woman. What do you do? Hey, Kobolds. You get the attention of the Kobold? Yes, let go of that family.
The first Kobold goes, sure! And let's go of the child. Drops the child and then
runs at you attacking you. What's your armor class? 19. He misses with his sword. You stupid buck.
It is, the second cobalt also attacks you.
18 plus three is 21, that'll hit you.
Oh, you fucking asshole.
Three points of damage.
Simon, you're up.
So there's still, how many,
a bunch of cobalts holding onto the rest of the family.
So two children are free.
The adult man is still dagger to the throat
and then another child is dagger to the throat.
Okay, I'm gonna cast Thunderwave to knock everyone prime.
Okay.
Bearing in mind, there are some children here.
Does Thunderwave do any damage?
Yes, of course it does.
It's called Thunderwave.
Oh yeah, it does.
Not Thunderwave. Oh yeah it does.
Not Thunderwave.
We're also implementing new like, once you've said it, it's happening rules this year.
So you're doing it.
Starting now?
Yep.
No.
Starting from now though.
No no no.
Because you just only said it now after I said the thing.
But the whole, well you've already cast Thunderwave.
What, how much damage does it do?
So yes, starting from now.
How much does it do?
Well, on a failed save the creature takes the eight
Damage, okay, and it's pushed ten feet away from you, okay
What do you see that one of the three remaining?
Constitution Constitution 13 okay one passes
To pass one one one of the children is knocked roll a da, please
Well, can I could I give this child a bardic inspiration?
Yeah I should guess.
So they don't fucking die?
He rolled a five so you gotta give him bardic inspiration of eight.
Yeah, oh okay, actually I don't. That kid's dead. I'm not gonna roll that.
I go to sing and then I go...
It's only five damage.
Five damage.
The child, well I think as a commoner they have eight hit points but if they're a... I go to sing and then I go... It's only five damage. Five damage.
The child, well I think as a commoner they have eight hit points but if they're a...
Maybe he's a fat kid.
He might be a fat kid.
I mean a child of high constitution, that's what I meant.
I myself was a child of high constitution.
And how do you think you...
He's in a circle, he's like, high constitution.
How do you think you- He's in a circle, he's like, Hi, Constitution! Nooooo!
How do you think- You don't-
And the mum is like,

You're just big boned.
How many- how much damage did you do?
Four damage?
Five.
Five damage? No, you've killed the kid.
You've killed the kid.
No, no, no, no, no.
But you've also knocked all seven of the cobalt down none of the cobalt are dead
But they all have now lost control of the people who are
Who they were holding hostage Demi you're up. Okay, the kid is the kid completely fully dead. Yeah, his brain exploded
Oh my god, that's so annoying
And the mother's like, oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck.

Because Mantic didn't work very well last time
I'm going to
Do one attack with my short sword.
That hits for 16. Does that hit?
Yes.
Okay.
These are kobolds. They're very weak.
Okay, 8.

sword. Your short sword. That's a six damage. Yeah, you impale his nuts on your short sword
and he goes, buddy, my nuts! I'm not your mummy. Demi, yeah, you've killed, there are now two Kobolds left.
Demi.
There's two left, alright.
Well I would like to cast Thunder Wave if I'm allowed to.
Wait, no, I don't want to!
No!
I'm not allowed to!
I said I would like to, I didn't say that I'd do it, Michael!
What are you gonna do?
I'm gonna sit down for a second.
And I'm gonna, you know what I'm gonna do suggestion okay
I get I get a course of activity limited to a sentence or two and magically
influence a creature I can see within range they can hear an in the stand
okay hey there what do you say do Do you wanna kill the guy over there?
He's your mate.
Grab his head and pull it off his back.
And if you don't do it right, then you don't get a snack.
Let's walk over there to your lizard pal.
And if you can't kill him, well, I'll show you how.
You just grab him on the head and you go, whoopsops And then you pull all the bones out in his poops they go in to the toilet hole
They go into the toilet hole
Okay, so he has to do a constitution saving throw. That's right. Yeah, let's just do a check
Yes, I have to do ba ba boo boo ba ba boop bee boo boo
Oh it's just an action and I cast it and then wisdom save no wisdom saving throw
He fails cause he rolled the he's got minus two wisdom
Oh shit okay yeah he fails
And so he yeah he runs over to his friend and
Pulls his head off
I told him exactly how to do it.
I guess it's a strength check.
Um, but he fails that because he's got minus two strength.
So I guess he kind of like pulls the friend's head and he's like...
He's like...
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
Uh, can I help?
Yeah, I guess he's got advantage because you're helping.
Okay.
He rolled a one. One, yeah, okay. I guess his... So he pulls his advantage because you're helping. Okay. He rolled a one.
I guess his... So he pulls his own head off hey. I was gonna say the friend bites his
hand. Okay yeah that works as well. He takes... well he's dead. There's one cobalt left and
it's the cobalt's turn. Okay. And the cobalt is gonna attack, oh I don't know, Eden.
But he misses. Back to Eden.
You try to kill me but then, hey look, surrender and I'll spare your life.
What are you going to do to me?
That's a new voice I'm doing!
I won't, I'm gonna not kill you in exchange for information and after
you give that to me then I'm gonna kill you. You're supposed to keep you supposed to shh for the last bit. What did you say?
Say the first bit again. The first bit again. All right too slow time to die. Wait, I missed you. That was a warning.
This is your last chance.
Oh, wait a minute, I have the graze property
of my heavy swords, you take four points of damage.
Okay, you've killed all the kobolds now.
Yeah.
The strangest shit that you do is just keep talking
in the voice while you're reading out the rules.
Yeah, I get stuck in a riff.
It's absolutely psychotic, man.
Wandering around like a baby duck, being like, I have
a magic power.
Look, there's a very specific circumstance.
I don't do this when I'm at home alone.
I live with him.
He does do it.
But only when I'm practicing.
I go to the bathroom late at night and I hear, I'm going to talk like this to Bernard.
You kid my parents, me!
Um, so now there is one dead child, an illusionary child,
Yep.
two more kids, a husband and a wife and uh...
Oh and I've put like a bunch of leaves and stuff over the child's dead body.
I think that's like an artistry check. Slide of hand?
Slide of hand to see how, you go roll a d20 for that.
Slide of hand.
To see how well you do.
Ooh nice, okay.
Four.
You staple two leaves to his eyes.
To pee the ferriman.
Oh.
Hey sweet, hey sweet Billy. Billyman. Oh. Hey, sweet Billy.
Billy boy.
Yeah.
You're going to write that into the song?
Yeah, yeah.
I think it's beautiful.
I think in here a verse is like, the boatman comes with leaves in his eyes, but the child
was killed by dinner.
Wait, what was that last word?
What was that last word? I don't think I can do it. I can go low and high.
Kill by dinner.
Wait, what was that last word?
I can go low and high.
Kill by dinner.
Sort of thing.
God damn you, dude.
I can't believe you killed that child dinner.
No you're not.
I didn't.
Excuse me, would you like to hear my new song?
I say to the mother.
The woman is Lyman Swift and she says she
says to you of course I'm a woman Wow anything else about you woman they love
music they love songs and shopping what's your name Lyonan Swift I already
said that bit oh I wasn't listening, I'm a man.
I would simply love to hear your song. Now the thing about songs is you gotta listen to the tune and the words.
Huh?
It's true what he says, we're both bards.
But, I was wondering, he kind of taps at his little,
the gold medallion that I've glued to my shirt.
You glued it?
Yeah, yeah, there's no pin on it.
All right.
Okay, were feeling calm?
What?
No, my boy was just killed by that guy.
I think the jury's out on that.
You know what, she attacks you.
I'm starting to think it might have been me.
What's your armor class?
My armor class is...
Oh yeah, you know what, she attacks Dina.
She's been swayed by the song.
She's been swayed, yeah.
She attacks Dina.
What's your armor class, Dina?
My armor class is 11.
Okay.
King, don't make us kill this mom.
Yeah, you take three points of damage.
You could restrain her if you wanted, I guess. Okay. King, don't make us kill this mum. Um, yeah, you take three points of damage. Grrr!
Um, you could restrain her if you wanted, I guess. No, I'm just gonna go limp.
You're gonna go limp?
Yeah.
Dinner is used to it.
That's why he's divorced.
She's gonna keep attacking you then, I guess.
Okay!
Remember, if dinner dies, Jinder dies.
I know that.
That attack misses.
Does anyone else want to step in?
I'm madden.
I've got to, I've got to.
That attack misses.
I want to cast Friends.
Okay.
I magically emanate a sense of friendship targeted at one creature then make a wisdom
saving throw.
You know what's weird?
You do magically emanate a sense of friendship really
She rolls in at 20. Oh, okay. Hey, I'd like you didn't kill your kid
Okay, I'm gonna cast command
Okay Jill forget
Huh somebody's boys in the street and they put leaves on his eyes to pay the ferryman!
No!
Oh no!
Shit!
Who are- what?
Who are you?
Oh that's fucked up!
I'm gonna go grab him!
No, no, no!
I'm gonna go!
Why are you touching that boy's body?
I'm not!
He's dead!
I'm just- I'm like-
Did you do it? No! I didn't do it!
Persuasion.
And the husband's such a bad dad, he has forgotten that he had a kid.
Yeah.
That's like, ah!
Yeah, her husband, Katha's like...
Yeah, I don't know, looks like a kid, I don't know.
Well, you know what, with inflation, the furry man, his fear's gone up and he just starts putting leaves and leaves and leaves on the boy
Well I don't know about you guys but I certainly feel like we should leave here right now
Let's go
So do you head to the keep?
Yes we head to the keep
Leading question
Guys I think we should go to the keep
I've heard this town is famous for coconut round food
But we can pick some of that up later let's get some of that on the way yeah
Maybe
Let's go to the castle as we're walking there. I just want to give
dinner a bardic inspiration dice just the hang on to because I
Fear for your future
Yeah, so you can use that that D8 to add to any role.
I just sing a little song in your ear which is like,
you killed that fucking kid,
but now you gotta live with that shit.
Bye.
Just, does Dina believe that Dina killed that kid?
I think so, cause like it's, you know,
when you're under interrogation for long enough,
they'll, you know, cops will do anything and sometimes it changes your memory.
And sometimes the cops can be really nice.
They'll get you burgers and some coke with some ice.
We go to the keep.
Where's the keep?
Once you're inside the keep. We're at the keep!
Once you're inside the keep.
What the fuck?
I hope there are some cops here.
Friendly cops.
I'm so sorry.
This is an A-Cab podcast and it always has been.
It is, yeah, A-Cab 100%.

The boy needs a room of his own.
He needs a room of his own. You gotta subdivide. I don't live at the keep. This is where room the boy needs a room of his own needs a room of his own You got a subdivide
Don't live at the keep this is what I want
Yeah, but you can't expect to keep your kid to come stay with you in the keep. It's not cool
Right now she's not home. Why is he staying with her not with you? Yeah, what if she she's a lawyer?
Look, I
Don't want to go into it, but the family-
All right, let's just do the conversation,
the last conversation you had with your son.
You start it.
Look, I'm sorry I killed your friend.
That, I didn't even want to talk about it.
I didn't even like Trevor,
but I did ask you to not kill any more of my friends.
So I'm going to...
No, no, no, I'm going to go live with me ma'am.
Say goodbye to your father.
Bye da.
You're a shite husband. Uh, back in the room, I'd like to cast minor illusion to make the sound of a child crying.
The cat's in the cradle and the silver.
You talked a lot about us being bad, but you're the one who's hiding in your box like some
frickin' Minecraft loser.
Yeah.
Also, I've had heaps of sex.
Yeah.
And I had the foresight not to have kids.
By not having sex.
I'm sorry, I'm just under a lot of stress right now because there's all these raiders out there and they're tearing up the city and everything is dying.
Wait.
We're here to help.
Okay, what's your fucking bright idea then you fucking sexual pervert?
If you're fucked so many people
You're a mr. Fuckathon over there come over here
Chariam puts his arm around his shoulders and sort of leads him to the corner that keeps like hey
Are you okay?
Because
it seems that you're
talking a lot of big words.
Just, you're having a lot of big feelings.
And hey,
that's okay. Everyone has big feelings.
But buddy,

Why don't you give it a break on all the pervert chat,

You know, I don't have time!
I've never got the time to call the stupid beliefs,
because I've already got an appointment at the Idiot Store!
Where I'll be returning you for being fucking useless!
Man, we just met.
If you're returning us to the Idiot store for being useless, seems like we're pretty
clever.
High five.
Seems like you're the idiot for buying us.
Which you didn't.
We're here of our own free will.
So please, tell us what we can do to help and we will do our best.
Because we are heroes.
Just for one day.
Our numbers here are...
We're outnumbered by these raiders.
And it's only a matter of time before we can do anything. Our numbers here are outnumbered by these raiders.
And it's only a matter of time until we starve to death here in my place of work.
But there are 40 or 50 of our number being, they're hiding in the basement of the old cathedral over there.
If you would get them back here, we'd have men.
And women.
And, and, and, and other people as well.
Probably some cat people.
Yeah.
Non-binary cat people.
Non-binary cat people.
Non-binary lizard folks as well.
Non-binary human people too.
Furries. Furries.
Furries. Furries.
Lizardies. It's confusing because there's cat people and there's. Furries. Furries. Furries. Fries.
Fries.
It's confusing because there's cat people and there's also furries.
Yeah.
And I'm going to be honest, I've met a lot of disappointed cat people.
Yeah.
Horticulturalists.
They're like, oh, I'm going to have sex with the barf penis over here.
Okay, okay, okay.
That sounds good good little dwarf. If we bring back these people will you have fighting forces to drive off these cobalt scum that killed that kid a while ago?
Ohhhhh right, right, right.
Yeah, and the other thing is if you brought back, I don't know, someone I could interrogate, maybe a weird cultist that I could waterboard
What will you do?
Time to a chair and water over a cloth you're gonna have to tie all right
It's gonna have to be a reclining chair first of all if you're gonna waterboard him
Yeah, we can all of a go
So we gotta go to that church over there.
Rescue the people, bring me back a cultist.
Alright.
But next episode, right?
And then we can all have a go.
What if the boarding is...
No, I don't...
That'll be a full episode!
Everybody gets a good...
Sometimes he seems like he's angry that we've kind of gone a bit off course.
And then sometimes he's wallowing in it.
Like a luxurious mud that makes your skin nicer.
It's like a very cute dog seeing a dead bird and going ooo and rubbing its fucking body
on it.
Alright, is it?
Alright.
Hey.
Sorry, yes? Yes. We're gonna go do that. its fucking body on it. Can we, alright, is it, alright.
Hey.
Sorry, yes?
Yes.
We're gonna go do that.
Is it completely necessary to bring back the cultists?
Are you definitely gonna waterboard them?
Because I don't feel that great about it, but I will do it.
There are consequences to whatever you choose to do.
Is that Michael?
Or is that?
Yeah, no, I've written out a decision tree here.
Okay, but I was using my dinner munch about voice when I asked that.
Oh, so the dwarf said that. I'm freaking out a decision tree whether I get this.
Hey, you see here? There's a decision tree.
I've predicted. I'm actually a genius.
And I can predict ten thousand outcomes.
I'm this world's Mr. Monopoly.
What is your name, young dwarf boy?
My name is Castellan.
Castellan!
George Castellan?
Castellan.
George Castellan.
I'm getting mad!
George Castellan.
George!
It's your mother! Do it Scottish. It's your mother! Do it Scottish. It's your mother!
What are you doing over there?
What?
What?
I want me haggis.
Oh boy.
And then his friend walks in and he's like, what is the deal with all the cultists outside? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha down to the next episode of Dragon Friends!

Gather good people, I'll tell you a tale of heroes and cowards Dressed in chainmail of kings and children
Beggars and lords and dragon fire that burnt them all
Behold the skies on fire, hear the roar of Drakon and choir
Foretold, this fear has a name
The terrible drake will drive men insane
But look to the ashes of phoenixes burst
With six wondrous heads, the heroes of YARN!
You can pray, but your gods won't save you
The Worm's fire will not spare you
Doom and destruction, death and rebirth
You can return, but the heroes of YARN
Their jaws are all chiseled, their asses are fat
They're shiny and golden and one wears a hat
That's not a hat, that is a bonus
You don't fall
I'm doing it on my head!
Oh!
Sorry, for the podcast what just happened was
Demi was doing up her hair and so didn't
have her mic, then Simon tried to hold her mic to her face and then just smacked her
in the teeth with it and we all feel pretty bad about that.
Physical comedy even better described.
That was really funny.
Let me help you Demi.
So, dinner's been hit twice with weapons. That was really funny! Let me help you, Demi!
So, Dina's been hit twice with weapons. Let me see, what damage do I take from that?
Yeah, from the microphone.
No, that is out of game damage.
So that's just damage to you as a person, not you as a character.
Just damage to me, and I'll put that down, what is it?
Yeah, that's just brain damage you'll get eventually.
Brain damage, I'm just gonna put the last one.
So, Chari and Valeria, what do you do with your...
